>>3047825My comments above concern only the c41 kit. I have also used the liquid e6 kit from Freestyle, but I can't comment on yield or longevity because I don't shoot enough e6.
As to a process rundown for c41: plastic tank (better insulator), I do not use a water bath, heat chems in the microwave, 107F Blix, 103F Dev, prerinse tank with steady running water at ~104 for about a minute, when Dev drops to 102F pour into tank, 3:30 for fresh chems, agitate first 30secs then 2 inversions every 15 secs, pour out, dev will have lost 2 degrees in the process which is totally fine, no rinse, pour in blix, agitate first 30 seconds and routinely thereafter to a total of 8-10 mins. Pour out blix, rinse in running ~100F tap water for 3 minutes, then rinse in a bath of either photoflo or Flexicolor final rinse (FUCK that stabilizer that comes with the kit. Leaves crusty white shit all over the film.)
I've yet to ruin a roll of film with this method. I have underdeveloped, overdeveloped, undertemped, overtemped, it all comes out in the scan (within reason). And since there ain't nobody still doing c-prints with an enlarger, minor variances in development does. not. matter. It will all come out in the scan.
